"Mmmm...wh..where am I ?"Marin asked herself as she grasped her aching head
"You,my dear are in the overvoid ." A voice
replied
"What's an overvoid?"Yume asked,still a little light headed
"It is the space from which the GOD OF SPECTATE AND NARRATION spectates."The voice from earlier replied.
"And you are?"Yume asked ,finally managing to stand and compose herself.
"I am the fouth god who governs a domain of entertainment,I amXEVERIOUS :GOD OF SPECTATE, at your service."The voice replied ,his form ,somewhat similar to that of TWITCH `S ,bowing in front of Yume`s rather child like form.
"Well that's a blatant lie if I've ever seen one,"Yume sais,her expression rather unchanging,"every one knows there are only three gods of entertainment. Not to mention the fact that I haven't heard of the name 'Xeverious' anywhere."
"Well, there's a reason why my existence hasn't been spoken of...I ,unfortunately can't disclose that reason now . But you'll know when the time comes." XEVERIOUS replied while rising from his bowing posture.
"Just tell me the reason already." Yume replied ,a little pissed.
"Alright ,fine,"XEVERIOUS replied while putting his hands into his overcoat pockets,"I'll explain. See on the day those three descended,I was also there but ,unfortunately enough for me,they didn't want me to be part of their little plan so they used the same artifact we four had used to assend to our position as gods,THE SUNIASTER , to seal me here .About a hundred years after,someone much like you ended up here."XEVERIOUS explained .
"Someone like me?how?"Yume asked ,a puzzled look plastered on her face.
"You both posses something called a nyxian factor which enabled you to reach me.When your predisesor reached here,I gave her an xn drive which would help her activate her nyxian factor at will."XEVERIOUS replied while stretching his arm a bit .
"Ok,but what's a nyxian factor and what exactly does it do?"Yume retorted.
"Oops ,silly me,"xev said while playfully bomking his head,"I forgot to explain. A nyxian factor, is kinda like an inherent power .Take the trix factor, for examle ,which is a authority everyone in the realm of streaming is born with.this authority allows that the more peaple know,admire,trust or look up to you in their numbers,the more power you have.A nyxian factor works a little on the same way in that it is an authority that allows it's user to 'spectate'. Which in layman's terms means that it allows one who posses it to understand, comprehensive and use any ability they see , regardless of its realm of of origin."
"Wow,that's so sick,that's practically a cheat skill!"Yume exclaimed with joy.
"Unfortunately though,there is a limitation to it. This limitation varies according to your xn drive. I think I should also mention that the drive varies from person to person . For examle in the case the one who canme before you,her drive was her VTUBER model ."xev explained.
"Okay,now what?Now that I've understood what anyxian factor does,what's next?"Yume asked.
"Well ,the next thing is to give you your own xn drive. "Xev replied.
"Alright ,"xev said while holding out his own,"hold out your hand.''
"Like this?"
"Exactly ."xev said as he stroked his hand over yume`s fore arm .
As he did so ,a golden dragon wrapped itself around the fore arm.A strange 'x'mark also appeared on Yume's neck.
"And your xn drive is your soul!Meaning you can learn as many skills as you want without damaging your soul.The only draw back being that for you to learn the skills of a new realm, you have to incarnate Into that realm.See originally ,as an avarage inhabitant of the[X] REALM you could only master skills and abilities your race could but now you can master skills and abilities of about four races per incarnation within the realm.that is also another limitation."
"That is a lot to take in thanks though.Why'd you summon me here anyway?"Yume finished
"I didn't summon you here ,your soul drifted into this space on its own."xev replied.
"How ?"
"I didn't know either .I'm as clueless as you are on that,"xev replied,"oh ,one more thing before you go back."
"Yeah?"
"Be careful of the three.If they notice that you have a nyxian factor, they wont spare any expence to either kill ,seal or erace you from existence entirely.
"Thanks for the advice,xev."Yume replied as her body started to fade
"Xev ,huh.has a nice ring to it.Thanks for the name."
"You're welcome."Yume replied
"Till we meet again 'orhan of calamity'." Xev said as Yume's form completely disappeared.
With Yume gone the void returned to its usual loneliness.
"Do good kid,I'll be watching all the way from here."xev said finally ,his form fading into the darkness.

Meanwhile ,Yume awoke after passing out earlier.
"Mmhm my head , again."she exclaimed as she sat up.
"For starters, where am I ."She asked herself as she opened her eyes and scanned her surroundings .
"No way...I'm in my room ,but... How.We were In the midle of the forest ... How'd I get back here."
Suddenly the door swung open, in came a maid carrying some tea and biscuits.
"M ...m..mm...Mistess you're awake!"the maid exclaimed, nearly dropping the tray she was carrying.
"Yeah ,I am."Yume replied,still holding her head.
"Mistress, you seem to be in pain let me call the physician."
" No need,I'll be fine."Yume replied,finally letting go of her head.
"Are you sure?"The maid asked ,still a bit hesitant.
"Yes ,I'm sure ."yume replied,while looking staight into the maid's Sapphire blue eyes.
"Anyway ,"Yume continued,"how long has it been since the attack ."
"Its been seven days mistress."The maid replied respectfully.
"And how are the peaple fairing, especially now that my mother and father are dead?''yume asked looking a bit downcast while saying those last words.
"Thorphin ,you father's advisor, has tacken charge."
"Interesting ."Yume said while still deep in thought.
"Well that takes care of itself for now."Yume said while getting off the bed and walking to a near by window.
"The future seems filled with wonder and excitement.I only lust to see it play out ." She finishes with her hands spread out and a massive plastered on her face.
At the same time we see Thorphin in his office ,going through some documents.
"Those overgrown lizards couldn't even clear out this measly town.at least they killed a massive population of this place, "he said as he slumped backwards on his chair,"that's one good thing that came out of this whole massive waste of time."
"L ord Thorphin, there's someone here to see you."His servant informed him.
"Who ever it is tell them I'm busy right now ."Thorphin instructed.
"They said to introduce themselves to you as 'black rose'."The servant relayed.
Thorphin exhaled in pure exhaustion then spoke..
"Let them in."
"Right away sir."The servant replied while bowing.
The servant then left,leaving Thorphin slumped even further backward on his chair. Thorphin then opened his left top drawer and took out a bottle .
"This is what we spent all this time looking for and yety all we got in return was an empty bottle."Thorphin said to himself as he looked at the bottle which looked like a vacuum flask with two dradons ,one black with gold accents and another white with golden accents.
Then there was a knock at the door.
"Come in ."Thorphin replied ,his attention still somewhat on the bottle.
Then a hooded man got into the room and sat accross from Thorphin.
"You lied to us..."
